History

Row of C18 to C19 storehouses, the W block of two separate blocks of marine stores, comprising a 3-storey range each side of a single-storey range. There were buildings along the back of the harbour from the late C18, but these buildings appear to be C19, possibly incorporating earlier masonry. Old photographs show rough render and limewash to the end of No 4. The 3-storey No 1, TS Tenby, the sea cadets premises, was 2-storey in old photographs with irregular fenestration, still described as 2-storey in 1977.
